>> Canadians can use any mode they want anywhere on HF.

rest

 Ever (late-late-late at night) played with FM on 80m?
 Tried it a few times and the results were bizarre compared to AM.
 The difference in the circuitry used for FM/AM recieve resulted in more 
noise and signals that were weak on ssb/am were extremely strong.
 But we did have fun trying it..
 >> So...wanna try some cw eh?
 >> Try me next Saturday evening on 3700 +/-10 from 7pm Eastern.
JE> Sounds good.  I'll even be there tonight, if anyone gets this early 
enough.
 I had it on 3700 from 7 Eastern and hear dnothing above SNAP! CRACKLE! and 
all
sorts of other storm related junk as a sever storm front blew thru south of 
me.
 What a pain in the headphones!
 With all the fancy doo-dads,bells and whistles they stuff in a modern Hf rig 
you think they could put a little thought into some sort of filter system 
that would kill the static blasts and lightening discharge splatter.
 Want to try for -next- Saturday?
 Same area...3700 up to 3725 on cw?
